Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program (MFTIP)
The first step towards woodlot certification is to prepare a management plan, which lays out a landowner’s objectives and helps to organize management activities. By registering their Plan in the Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program (MFTIP), landowners also receive a substantial reduction in the property taxes on their woodlands. When talking to landowners at the International Ploughing Match in 2007, we were surprised to learn how few people had heard of the program. As a result, the Leeds-Grenville Stewardship Council decided to provide advice and assistance to interested landowners to help them develop a Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program Plan. In 2011 Donna O’Connor assisted 16 landowners in Leeds and Grenville to prepare plans that covered 862 hectares (2129 acres).
Many of our programs are interconnected: some MFTIP landowners decide to
increase their forested area and enrol in tree planting programs offered by LGSC or our
partners.
